Hello, I've been trying to compile Guile on the Hurd and after a few changes (see my earlier posting about poking inside FILE *s) it compiles. However, after touching build-stamp the computer dies with messages about: [unfortunately this is only an approximate transcription, I don't have any way to save the actual message]
(default-pager): refusing paging request because of previous errors ... [repeated lots of times] ... *** [Error 2] Computer bought the farm make: [Error 2] Computer bought the farm After make terminates the shell fails to recover and I have to do a hard reboot complete with lots of complaining by e2fsck. It looks like this has something to do with the pager but I can't find the previous errors it refers to (since the Mach console doesn't have backscrolling..maybe I could try piping the compile through less..) It may help to mention that my computer doesn't have swap space under the Hurd due to the fact that I can't get it to recognize my Linux swap partition. Do I just have to work out how to enable swap or is there something worse going on here? [ should I maybe find the first error using 'less'? ] Daniel -- "...drums...drums in the deep!" J. R. R.
